What do You want to be?

Well I was asked just like everyone a million times in their life "what do you want to be when you grow up?". I think that is the most common question when you are graduating from high school. Well what was my answer. I honestly always wanted to be a police officer. I am not really sure why but it might have something to do with me living almost next door the the police chief in my town. I played with all his kids growing up and even had a crush on one of them. It seemed natural to me that I would take a look at criminal justice degrees when I hit college. I remember when I was little loving when the chief of police would come him in a police car and let us kids check out the inside and turn on the lights. It was the coolest thing that I ever remember growing up. When I first started going to college I took a few criminal justice classes but then stopped. I am not sure why I ever stopped. I guess because I knew police officers did not make very much money and people always told me that was silly to go to school for when it would not pay off. I know they don't make as much as other job careers but honestly I think they are under paid. I need to check into some classes again because as a small child it was always my dream job.
